【正文】 sed to the more direct manner of American businesspeople. The Chinese take time to learn if their prospective business contacts are really reliable, for example, by inviting them to a party and socializing with them. In contrast, Americans usually act with the getdowntobusinessfirst mentality. Second, the decisionmaking process of Chinese panies is generally slow and timeconsuming. This is because most Chinese panies keep to the “bottomup, then topdown and then bottomup” decisionmaking principle which involves many people at different levels. American panies, on the other hand, usually operate with quick decisions made by the top management. I hope American businesspeople in China will understand these differences in business practices and adjust to the Chinese way.我很樂意。因此，美國是的管理方式常常使許多員工感到沮喪，而中國式的管理方式能使員工有一種喜悅的參與感和成就感，對自己的工作抱一種自豪感。我不僅要特別感謝為我們準備晚宴的人們，而且還要特別感謝演奏優(yōu)美音樂的人們。We have a social and political system which differs in many respects from your own. It is the result of different experiences and a different tradition. This system of ours does not always produce results of which we all approve. People sometimes grumble at it and criticize it. But it is a political system deeply rooted in the instincts of our people. We do not aim to impose our own ideas on other people. We believe that it is right and necessary that people with different political and social systems should live side by side. We do not assess in identical fashion all aspect of today’s world—with our distinct histories, geographies and cultures it is inconceivable that we could see eye to eye on all issues—but we do agree on the fundamental need for world peace, and the equally fundamental need for all countries to determine their own fate and design their own future.世界注視著我們，世界傾聽著我們，世界拭目以待我們的作為。一方面，政府的宏觀管理責任將會變得更加重大。有了信念，我們將無所畏懼地跨入充滿挑戰(zhàn)和機遇的新的一年。這就是圣誕節(jié)的精神所在。本次“亞太地區(qū)市民社會與文化多樣性天津國際論壇”就是在這一背景下舉行的。但是這種制度根深蒂固，已成為我國人民的意識與行為本能。應該說近年來中國人的經(jīng)營方式，更確切的說是東方人的經(jīng)營方式，開始為越來越多的西方人所認識。有時我的中國同事道一聲“是”，這可布什表示贊同，只是表明他們在注意對方說話而已。謝謝。美國的政治觀、經(jīng)濟觀以及社會觀的核心就是個人道德自治觀。這種花會讓人想到浪漫、愛情、抽象意義上的美，它還表示民族的勃勃生機等。The dinner is so delicious. The dishes are plete with color, aroma, taste and appearance. Thank you very much for your invitation and hospitality. I hope I haven’t missed anything, have I?味道太可口了，這些菜的色香味形都很好?？梢哉f我們每個人都成功的是我們的使命得以完成。園區(qū)兩大主導產(chǎn)業(yè)是信息技術(shù)和現(xiàn)代生物技術(shù)。不知道各位對哪方面比較感興趣？I’m interested in the general layout of the park. Would you please give me some idea of its setup?我對園區(qū)的總布局頗感興趣，能簡要介紹下嗎？Well. First of all, we’ll take a bird’seye view of the park. And then we’ll look around in the park and, to use a Chinese metaphor, we’ll cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on horseback.很好，我們先來鳥瞰一下整個園區(qū)吧，然后在園區(qū)內(nèi)各處轉(zhuǎn)悠一下，用我們的話說是“走馬觀花”吧Good idea, but we’ll cast a passing glance at flowers while riding on your car . . .in a more fortable mannerGreat humor, sir. Let me e back to our story. Jinghe hightech park enjoys a superior location, with Beijing as its backdrop, facing the vast expanse of the Bosea, bordered by the Jingjintang Expressway to the east. It takes only 30 minutes to reach the Capital’s International airport， 20 minutes to get to the Beijing Railway Cargo Station, and one hour to arrive at the Tianjin New Harbor. The park is a national development zone approved by the State Council. It’s entitled to the power of approving projects with preferential policies, operating under the management system of international standards.先生好幽默！我們言歸正傳吧。園區(qū)有著強大的政府支持和完備的高技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈。不過，恕我直言，我只聽說過名聲顯赫的粵菜、川菜和魯菜，對上海菜不太了解Shanghai cuisine, usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major regional cuisine in China, with a history of more than 400 years. Like all other Chinese regional cuisines, Bnebang cuisine takes “color、aroma and taste” as its essential quality elements. It’s featured by the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials with quality texture, and original flavors.上海菜系是中國最年輕的地方菜系，通常被稱為“本幫菜”，有著400多年的歷史。讓我們共同舉杯，敬祝凱蘭女士健康。Can you offer us some examples? For instance, during your stay in China, have you found any serious cultural differences or clashes with regard to life and work?你能給我舉些例子嗎？比如說，你在中國的生活和工作中發(fā)現(xiàn)什么嚴重的文化差異或沖突嗎？We emphasize efficiency, petition and originality while your management gives priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members. In daily contacts, we tend to be humorous and casual while some of you appear more serious and formal. In American schools, discussion is given top priority and seminar is the usual way of class. Good teachers are those who possesss flexible and adaptable talents, and are able to respond instantaneously at any moment to any questions that might arise among the students. That kind of capacity makes a popular teacher in the USA. But Chinese teachers like to lecture in class, and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations。 The global integration of economy and the speeding information revolution have brought the world closer than ever before. Chinese learn English, Americans learn Chinese。我認為中美兩國生意人在商務溝通方式上至少有兩點不同。Talking about worker’s attitude toward their work, how do the Chinese and the American differ in this respect?談到員工的工作態(tài)度，中國人和美國人在這方面有何不同?I think most Chinese view work as essential for having membership in a munity. They believe that work allows them to have the sense of belonging in a munity. In other words, work is necessary for them to gain social acceptance in the society. That is why many Chinese managers and employees work so hard to maintain their positions in their panies. Also, they see work as the most important thing in life. That is, they have tried to find the meaning of life through their jobs. While the Chinese work ethic is based on social pressure and munity belonging, the American work ethic seems to be more individual oriented. Traditionally, we work because it is the will of the God, and we often value the results and acplishments of work more than its process. By the way, I’m very
